Class Description: In this four hour class you will hand-make a leather shopping tote from a pre-designed/pre-sized template. You will be able to customize your handle length and color, and you will be doing all of the pattern cutting, seam hand-stitching and assembly.

*Choose Leather Colors: Once you sign up for your the class you will need to make a decision as to what color combination you will be making. We will then order your leather and make sure its ready for you in class. The color combos are as follows... for reference, please see the photo swatches. During the "check out" process, please fill out and type into the "Special Instructions" field, the color of handle and tote body you would like to construct.

What you will learn: You'll be learning hand-stitching techniques by sewing up the sides of your tote bag with strong nylon chord. You'll also learn how to trace a leather pattern, cut leather with special cutting tools, hand-punch stitching holes, and install your leather handles with metal rivets.

**Note: You will not be able to later change the tote body color because our leather will be pre-ordered for each student. The focus on this class is on the individual handcraft techniques, not the overall bag design.

*Children 14 and under need an adult present and everyone is required to purchase a ticket.

*Wear appropriate clothing and shoes - closed-toe shoes, NO SANDALS.

*We will be operating dangerous tools.
